2022 Festival of Landscape Architecture: COUNTRY
13 - 16 October 2022 | Magandjin (Brisbane)
The 2022 Festival of Landscape Architecture will be curated by Blaklash Creative, LatStudios and Claudia Taborda as Creative Directors.
"It is critical for all involved in shaping urban environments to join with First Nations people to gain a deeper understanding of Country as we prepare our cities for the complex challenges of climate change".
We are bringing together Elders, Traditional Custodians and First Nations designers, artists and practitioners, representative of the diversity of Country across Australia, and the varied philosophical approaches to understanding, being with and caring for Country. COUNTRY will be an experience that builds on the important work and ongoing conversations that have been happening within and adjacent to the discipline, about connecting to, caring for and designing with Country.
The Creative Directors have been yarning with Elders, First Nations designers and the AILA Connection to Country Committee to align COUNTRY with parallel conversations. A local working group, of First Nations emerging Landscape Architects, has been integral to the philosophical approach, experiential design and curatorial direction of COUNTRY.
After much debate and deliberation, the creative directorate have decided that COUNTRY will not be offered in an online format. We believe that it is important for participants to be present for the conversations, in mind and in body, engaging in deep listening and reciprocity. We believe that while an online format can have many positive aspects, this cannot happen if we are not in the same space.
COUNTRY will follow six conversations, led by Traditional Custodians, Elders and First Nations Practitioners. Each conversation will be followed by a more intimate discussion, which will be facilitated by a First Nations lead.
- Meanings of Country: Elders in Conversation
- Decolonising thoughts: Unlearning to learn
- Designing with Country I: Paradigms and interdisciplinarity
- Designing with Country II: Shifting paradigms - government to community
- Indigenising Practice: First Nations Agency
- Future: Country in practice
Visit the COUNTRY website for more information on the event. Most Festival events will be held in and around South Bank, Brisbane.
